If anyone was listening to 790 again, my boy LeBatard got me on again...I text them and they read it to close the show.

That is priceless.

That game killed me, not just losing the way we did but seeing Willis go down the way he did.

You and watchout are both heroes after all this is over.

I'm about to head to the bar to make it through these last 2 hours...hopefully it's celebratory shots, and not drowning my sorrow.

This is the most ridiculous special I have ever seen. They promised a decision within 10 minutes. This is pathetic, I have lost any remaining respect I had for ESPN as a reputable sports company.

Haven't heard anything about Shaq but I wouldn't doubt it one bit. I could actually see both Shaq and AI coming in for the minimum.

You don't have to wait or wonder, you know it's gotta be mutual, Shaq will be in MIA someway somehow. After today how can you think Riles won't pull that off. What an amazing day for MIA.

Wow man that's a great point, that's right, no wonder he's barely getting any credit, the evil four letter is cock blocking him. That's messed up. Chris Boussard is getting all the credit, messed up.

Ha normally I dislike ESPN, nut he was the first person to call Lebron to Heat and everyone laughed at him. Show the man respect where respects due.

DWade wants JWill back

Wade is making a push for the Heat to bring Williams back for another tour in Miami. The two were teammates during the Heat's championship run in 2006, and though Williams has been in and out of the league since, he was a solid back-up for Jameer Nelson last season in Orlando. A similar role would probably be the best fit for Williams, but with the Heat going a bit fidgety at the idea of Mario Chalmers running their offense next year, Jason will likely be considered a preferable alternative.

Williams isn't likely to command much more than the veteran minimum on the open market, which should be worth about $1.4 million for a player of Jason's tenure. The beauty is that the Heat can sign Williams for the minimum even if they're over the salary cap, which allows Miami to fully utilize their cap space (on LeBron or Brendan Haywood or whoever) before signing him to a deal. That's big, but if Jason starts demanding more than the minimum, it could force the Heat to look elsewhere.

I wouldn't mind, sick passer and handler. Not really physical so we don't have to worry about his age. You don't lose his handles with age.

If you guys get Miller for 5/30 he has to start. Since Riley coached Magic....is LeBron going to run the point?! :o

PG Bron
SG Wade
SF Miller

I see a team with Miller having no clearly defined positions except for the bigs. Miller, Wade, LeBron all have ball-handling capabilities, but I think the point duties would just be split with Wade and LeBron.

Why do we need a PG, really? We have a very capable combo guard and an equally capable point forward.
